[LCC] LaQP Certificate

[Mark, K5ER]

Gentlemen,
         I received the bottom message from Andy, DL3GA, who was a 
certificate winner in the 2014 LaQP, and sent the reply also pasted below. 
It is things such as this that make me sure we are doing good. It is nice 
to see DX stations that we work over and over in "big" contests take time 
to participate in the LaQP, and then thank us for recognizing his efforts.

         I thank the members of the LCC for allowing us to accept 
sponsorship of the LaQP, and for supporting the decisions of the committee 
on how it should be run. Yes, it cost about $3.50-$4.00 for each of the DX 
certificate winners, but look at the good will and recognition for the LCC 
that it is generating. It looks like we are on the right path.

73,
Mark, K5ER
